I realize some may not be able to see that Forum, so here is my Carrara render, titled "Who Did These Drawings?"

Very nice and good luck Stevie !

Thanks, DUDU.

What a great illustration. It really draws out imaginary story line possibilities. Congratulations.

Thanks. I hope you're right about the story, I've got the Houston 48 Hour Film contest coming up, 2 days to make a 5 minute animation given a random genre plus several elements (prop, character, line of dialogue). Story is the hard part for me, along with scene, character, costumes, animation, music, sound effects, special effects, ...

<= Our team name is "Perfect Time to Panic Productions"

A trashpicker genius found this great working interdimensional car that had an autopilot button for its home. Home is empty for eons, but plans/blueprints for wonderful things are still lying out on a table. (just my first thoughts)

Ooooo-ooooo: The engineer is designing a vehicle to go down onto a gas giant planet where thieves have dropped precious steampunk musical instruments.

You really need to get on a 48 Hour Film team. In the two day contest (on different weekends, in cities worldwide), the general scheme is a kickoff on Friday evening, where each team gets a genre (comedy, drama, scifi, about 15 total) and the three required elements. They have to turn in a 4-7 minute video two days later, Sunday evening. Generally, they write the story/script Friday evening, shoot the video Saturday, then edit and add the sound/music/effects Saturday night (all night) and into Sunday, when they burn the final video and deliver it to the dropoff meeting (there is a last 10 second countdown). Then drink.

You fit into the Friday evening story/script session. 99+% of the teams do live action - here is a "Making Of" for the one live action team I was on:

Your idea for steampunk musical instruments I find especially appealing. Have you seen this:

Very fun.
